Abstract
Discrimination and stigmatization towards PLWH has been documented in some hospitals in Jakarta. The purpose of this
study is to determine the extent to which the nurses’ HIV knowledge, religious beliefs, and their perception of HIV-stigma
affect their attitudes toward HIV/AIDS. Descriptive correlative study with using mixed method in collecting data was used. A
convenience sample of 326 nurses who are working with PLWH from 4 hospitals and 5 public health centers in Jakarta,
Indonesia were recruited. The result shows that attitudes toward PLWH were significantly different between nurses who had
HIV training and not (p= 0.001; α= 0,05), works in hospitals and public health centers (p= 0.01; α= 0.05), nurses with
different educational background (p= 0.05; α= 0.05), and nurses who perceived that they are competent or not competent to
care PLWH (p= 0.001; α= 0.05). Increase of HIV knowledge required nurses to reduce PLWH patient’s stigma.
